Janet Heatley Blunt

Janet Heatley Blunt (1859-1950)

Janet Heatley Blunt was born in India, 28 April 1859, the daughter of Charles Harris Blunt (1824-1900), a Major General in the Royal Bengal Artillery stationed at Umballa, a military station in the Punjab. After the death of Blunt's mother, Mary, in 1892, her father retired from active service and brought his family back to England, becoming a lessee of Halle Place in West Adderbury, Oxfordshire. After her father died, Blunt, a spinster, became a benevolent 'lady of the manor', becoming very involved in running the estate and, through her contacts with the tenants and villagers, the music and dances of the village, particularly the songs, morris dances and religious music she collected between 1907 and 1931.
